Robert Santos Counts the Future
Manage episode 336782081 series 2517955
Last November, Robert Santos became the first Latino to be confirmed as the Director of the U.S. Census Bureau.
Santos is no stranger to the federal agency. Before his nomination and confirmation, Santos had warned that former President Donald Trump’s interference of the census count would result in one of the most flawed census counts in U.S. history. Census counts are important because they help determine congressional representation and how billions of federal dollars are distributed.
In this conversation with Maria Hinojosa, Santos shares the census’ complicated history, his efforts to rebuild trust among communities, his love for his hometown of San Antonio and more.
